Life and career[]
Born in Milan, in the 1940s Carpi began his career as a film critic for the newspapers Libera Stampa and L'Unità.[2] In 1951 he moved to Brasil, where he started collaborating to some screenplays. Returned in Italy in 1954, until 1971 he was active as a screenwriter for notable directors such as Antonio Pietrangeli, Dino Risi and Vittorio De Seta.[2] In 1971 he won a Nastro d'Argento for the screenplay of Nelo Risi's Diary of a Schizophrenic Girl.[3] Starting from 1957 he was also a critically acclaimed novelist and essayist.[2] His novel Patchwork won the Bagutta Prize in 1998.[4]
After a 1968 documentary short, in 1972 Carpi made his feature film debut with the drama Corpo d'amore.[2] His films were referred to as "figuratively accurate, literary, often metaphorical and difficult to understand", "deep explorations of the human psyche".[2]
